There were no moths last night but I did get 13 macro moths of 6 species on the 15th and 13 of 5 on the 16th. Of the 26 moths 9 were Fall Cankerworm moths (Alsophila pometaria) and 8 were Juniper Carpets (Thera juniperata). There were no new species for the year and still no Bruce Spanworms (operophtera bruceata). I did get a second Ipsilon Dart (Agrotis ipsilon) on the 16th and am still hopeful of getting a Bruce Spanworms (operophtera bruceata) before the end of October but the temperatures are falling fast tonight. At the time of writing (7pm) it's already down to 5.8. On another subject, I had a fairly close encounter with a Great Grey Owl on the 16th...
